For everything there is a season, and a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build up. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to discard.
A time to tear, and a time to mend; a time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate: a time for war, and a time for peace.
(Ecclesiastes 3, from New Catholic Bible)
Please watch the video and tell me what you think of the quotes and of those who I have quoted…

Here are the words to a song that was named after a mis-spelling or a confusion created when George wrote «bridge» and Eric, having mis-read it, thought it said «badge» and then went on to name the song «Badge». Therefore the name means nothing reference the words of the song. Regardless of the name, the song is smashing good, a hell of a bloody good one for sure, y’all…
(Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton)
BADGE
Thinkin’ ‘bout the times you drove in my car. Thinkin’ that I might have drove you too far. And I’m thinkin’ ‘bout the love that you laid on my table.
I told you not to wander ‘round in the dark. I told you ‘bout the swans, that they live in the park. Then I told you ‘bout our kid: now he’s married to Mabel.
Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down. Don’t you notice how the wheel goes ‘round? And you better pick yourself up from the ground Before they bring the curtain down. Yes, before they bring the curtain down.
Ah Ah Ah, yeh yeh yeh Ah Ah Ah, yeh yeh yeh
Talkin’ ‘bout a girl that looks quite like you. She didn’t have the time to wait in the queue. She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.
«Badge» came from Cream’s fourth and last album Goodbye from 1969. When George Harrison and Eric Clapton were in the process of writing the song, and Eric misnaming it, Ringo Starr walked in drunk and told them about the swans that they live in the park…
(Cream in 1969)
It must have been fun back in those days with such creative people.
